DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Rules folders are walked through the storage backend

Under the hood
Useful1 Signal2
Internals

Rules folders are inspected through the storage backend, falling back to plain file checks.

What

Walking the Managed, User and workspace rules folders now asks the storage backend whether each entry is a symlink and what kind it is, rather than stating the filesystem directly. An unrecognized failure code is logged and falls back to a direct lstat/stat, so behaviour is unchanged without the storage backend enabled.

Evidence

claudemd: the storage backend could not say whether the ${n} rules folder is a symlink

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
